Moon,

Sorry I cannot help you with schools. I don't know where most are located. But Doha is a very small town, traffic is a big problem, but everywhere is relatively close...

I gave birth in Qatar. I was with Hammad and was very pleased with the service and care that I received. I also have full medical insurance, yet I chose the public (almost free) hospital because in my humble opinion, it is the best.

Maternity care is very good here. Mind you, chances are you will end up with a C-section, as most women here do!

Doha Clinic and Emadi have very good reputation and I have met women who had their childbirth there and were happy. Avoid the American Hospital at all costs.

I cannot understand why Helloqatar don't like the medical facilities here, they are generally good. If they weren't, I'd be the first one to critize them.

Qtel is the (only) telecomm service provider in Qatar.
